The percentage of visitors without JS likely doesn't make it worth it for the developer to spend time handling this nonstandard.

A site like this can definitely be created without JS, but it's their site and therefore their choice.

The percentage of visitors with extensions like Plopdown likely doesn't make it worth for Netflix to spend time handling this nonstandard. ;)

The ability to seek is the standard so you've got things turned around I'm afraid :)

Yes I believe so. Having said that, if I had a Netflix sub I would seriously have considered canceling over this.
